\n<\/b><\/span><\/span>
\nON GIVING UP HIS EARLY CAREER, BOXING<\/b><\/span><\/span>

\n<\/span><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/span>ON GOLF<\/b><\/span><\/span>

\n<\/b><\/span><\/span>
\nON HIS SIX BROTHERS<\/b><\/span><\/span>
\n’That’s how I learned to dance. Waiting for the bathroom.’<\/b><\/span><\/span>
\n<\/b><\/span><\/span>
\nON HIS EARLY FAILURES<\/b><\/span><\/span>
\n’I would not have had anything to eat if it wasn’t for the stuff the audience threw at me.’<\/b><\/span><\/span>
\n<\/b><\/span><\/span>
